"The specialty coffees and Matcha tea were fabulous. Unfortunately the pastries don't offer any gluten-free options, so I had to take a pass. There is a nice positive vibe for the atmosphere, it's quiet but you feel free to talk. There is plenty of off street parking and if the lot is full, there is on street parking available free of charge. I would definitely have a coffee here again, if I were in the area."

"Delicious lattes and nice vibe inside- highly recommend the honey apple latte. (pictured along with the black sesame latte). Not to sweet. Only downside is the price - it's worth it for a special occasion but not on the regular. $7-$7.50 for a latte is a bit much. Added bonus though is they carry pastries from La Saison!"

"Excellent coffee, good aroma as well as taste. The pastries are also outstanding. The cinnamon bun wasn't overwhelming with cinnamon, which is what a lot of other places get wrong, and the pastry was flaky as opposed to dense. The maple scone was also tasty."

"Tucked away in a quiet residential area straddling Cambridge and Watertown, Intelligentsia Coffee offers a great cafe experience with an excellent selection of pastries and coffee. I’ve been coming here for the past few months to get some work done on the weekends. From their drinks, my go-to is their Avena latte. It's a medium-bodied blend, surprisingly light, with a bold cayenne kick that somewhat eclipses the subtler vanilla and cinnamon notes. As a latte enthusiast, it still captures my palate. Besides their good coffee, I like that they have a rotating selection of pastries sourced from some of my favorite local bakeries like Sodoko and La Saison. Another perk is their free parking lot, a rare find in the city. It’s designated for takeout customers, but there are still plenty of street parking available nearby. While its location might not be the most accessible, Intelligentsia Coffee is well worth the drive for anyone seeking a coffees shop experience in a cozy, welcoming environment."

"Coffee was delicious! On top of that the staff was kind and were really on their game. I got my drink quickly and it was perfect. I also enjoyed the esthetic of the coffee shop. It looks like a nice place to sit and work, read a book, or meet with a friend. The outdoor seating and cozy and under comfortable shade. Highly recommend!"
